It's going to be a Windows 8 Tablet, Desktop, and Laptop, and a Windows Phone 8 Handset, and a Xbox 880 with Kinect 8D vision.

Maybe Ballmer is announcing Apple is buying them? That should help increase the pathetic stock value of Microsoft, that never really changes much these past 10 years.

They got rid of the racist comment, but I'm guessing that was more "automated" then actually have a moderator do it. But yeah, the SPAM lives on. But there again, Tom's site is full of SPAM (advertising) so it's sorta hypocritical of them to remove it ;)

[citation][nom]V8VENOM[/nom]Does anyone care about Microsoft these days? Another duplicated gadget or product that other companies already have?Is it going to be another Ballmer freak show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKTnQYScpyk[/citation]

People get excited when Apple does the exact same thing....so, what's the issue??

So Apple will introduce the iPad 3 and Microsoft will just be coming to the game with a prototype? Are you kidding?

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]Since their software runs on 98% of the computers on earth I'd venture a guess yes.[/citation]

Think again junior ... your facts (or did you just make that number up) are WAY OFF.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

On the web client front about 80% Microsoft, on the Server Side about 66%, on the Mobile side about 9%. Given the massive expansion and market around mobil computing, I'd say Microsoft is a pretty insignificant player.

Well since nobody seems to report them what do you expect? They always get removed pretty quickly after being reported, but if you don't report it then don't complain

So they dominate 2 of the 3 markets you mentioned, and then you say they're insignificant?
